155th article on which part of the nuclear triad we should kill. I’m forced to note that as long as you have planes and nuclear bombs, you have the “bomber” portion of the triad, just at a lower level of alert.

Kentucky is HOT HOT HOT! There’s an outside chance that, by 2017, Kentucky could have two Democratic Senators; McConnell is vulnerable (whether to Judd or a more mainstream politician), and Paul faces legal obstacles to running for both President and Senate.

I’m pretty certain that sports leagues could dishonestly OVERstate their profits…and the various players’ unions would still bend over backwards to accommodate them so long as the owners promised to fuck over rookies.

Yeah, but in the case of the NFLPA and MLBPA, they actually hurt themselves by being deluded into the idea that they were going to get teams to overspend on “established veterans” by screwing over amateurs. Especially the NFL players.

Those two unions aren’t very comparable. The last MLBPA CBA did a lot to reform the system of drafting and the slot pay for each draft pick to sign. But those aren’t even so much rookies but potential future MLB players. Baseball also pays for its development system for the most part.

It’s the NFL that relies solely on an ‘amateur’ system of development and training and contracts full of non-guaranteed money.
